2001 Buick Park Avenue review from North America
"Lux without the Lex money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power seat motor on drivers side doesn't go up and down.
Door is a little hard to open due to latch/handle.
General comments?
Performance is what I expect from 205HP versus the 88 Park Ave that I replaced it with. The engine is so quiet, I didn't even know the car was on.
I was a little disappointed with the seat comfort in the leather cockpit. The small of my back ached after only 40 minutes of driving. Plus, I am fit and my back never hurts. That is a minor pain compared to the pain free ease of the boat ride of a smooth car like this one. Just as smooth as my old baby.
